Chains for Change is a new program from your friends at Hello Bully.
One of the many issues facing Pit Bulls today is the common
misconception that Pit Bulls can only be trained using heavy handed,
correction based methods. In reality, Pit Bulls respond very well to
positive reinforcement training. In addition, methods that rely on
physical punishment are cruel, outdated and certainly ineffective for
dogs who have been bred for years to withstand high amounts of
physical discomfort.
It is an important aspect of our mission to bring humane, effective
methods of training to Pit parents everywhere. One of the most basic
things we can do is offer alternatives to choke and prong collars. Our
Chains for Change program aims to do just that! Our goal is to offer
free martingale collars (complete with instructions on how to teach
your dog to walk on a loose leash) to anyone willing to trade in their
choke or prong collars. We will also be selling front-clip harnesses on
our website for those extra strong pullers!
One of the strongest and most durable fabrics is denim. We will be
using denim to make our Chains for Change martingales. This is
where YOUR HELP is needed. Please donate your used or new denim
jeans, canvas, Dickie's or Carharts to Hello Bully to get the movement
rolling.
